Broken Pet Models

[Haenir]

What about NPCs that have odd (missing?) audio effects? E.g., trilobites in crags/urf all sound like humans when i stab them.

 

[Kedrin]

This game has sound?

 

[taosanterior]

The only sound I've ever been able to get was those anti-virus adds on the load screen last year.

Emberflow Caverns
Zombie (Malignant Dead)

[Grinkles]

Everfrost
Tormented Iksar Spirit
Appears as a male Human.

I need some help. Please post zones where your pet models are broken. This falls into a couple categories:

- Model appears human
- Model doesn't animate
- Texture is messed up (can't always fix this)

Please post a VERY SHORT message with:

- Zone
- Pet type (druid frog, beast panther, etc.)
- What it does (looks human, doesn't animate)

I am going to try to fix as many as possible.

What about treasure chests which appear as a male human? I know that's not a pet, but it may be a similar issue. Also on that note, Cache of Dawn, Cauldron of Dawn - Male Human.

Should we still post these if we notice? There are a ton still animate bugged, but people seem to have stopped reporting them.

 

[Haenir]

Yeah, noticed several news ones with 2.5 -- just been /bug reporting them myself.

The Greenwarden is TINY now!

Seeing as this project lost steam among the staff quite a while ago, I took it upon myself to address what I could based on the unanswered posts. In all, I managed to provide various fixes spanning 13 zones by editing the various _chr.ini files.

Here are three examples of formerly broken models that now display properly on my end:

​

I have no power to throw files into the patcher, so if you want the fixes outlined here, download the following .zip and toss all its contents into your SoD directory, overwriting when prompted:

• Fixed SoD Models 21 Jan 2017 (Filesize: <6 KB)
  • EDIT 11 APRIL 2017: Removed download link. View newer post below for up-to-date .zip folder containing this and subsequent fixes.

For future reference, here is a log of what I fixed vs. what stumped me while trying to get a handle on all the posted bugs:

The Grand Athenaeum (Jayla Library)
Druid Pet = Human

Fixed.

==========

I'm going by memory:
Mistwoods
Treasure Chest = Human
Greater Faydark - & maybe a few more Faydark zones as well.
Treasure Chest = Human

This issue seems to have fixed itself; unable to confirm for others.
==========

Darkwoods
a burrowing mite
Model appears human (in platemail)

Tur'ruj
Gru'niet supply pillar, final form
naked human

Intended model unknown; unable to fix.

- Sharvahl
- Vahir Teshaar, Emir Sharikahn Vahl, a Vah Shir echo (I guess these aren't pets, now that I think of it)

See reply by @Faylahs; "fixable" by activating the Luclin Vah Shir model (which also fixes some other minor bugs that plague the non-Luclin Vah Shir, such as holding shields upside-down and armor failing to show up).

Model appears as a tiny human

I think this is the zone for the eternal well:
Zoneid: 184
Zonelongname: Loading Zone
Zoneshortname: load

I think the yclist rat is the same model as rabb, also

I think this is the zone for the eternal well:
Zoneid: 184
Zonelongname: Loading Zone
Zoneshortname: load

I'll look further into the Eternal Well one of these days. I can't figure out which _chr.txt file it would be pulling from, seeing as this is the classic (pre-Luclin) character select "zone" and has no _chr.txt of its own.

I think the yclist rat is the same model as rabb, also

Thanks! I fixed it in the following update.

I noticed a few Beastlord pets were missing from Tur`Ruj or not animating there. The rat and zombie/mummy models were also absent. A couple tweaks to chardok_chr.txt seem to have fixed these problems. Here's one example:

​

Earlier tonight, I discovered the zombie/mummy model was missing from Citadel of the Claw, too. After sprucing up karnor_chr.txt, the Shadowknight pet now displays properly:
